Description

- with the Bent Spoon Award & a happy birthday to VoF!

We start by exploring the anthroposophic connections of the Griffins, the founders of Canberra, then move on to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Swedish skeptical organisation Vetenskap och Folkbildning.

Then Pontus Pokes the Pope for all the mess his minions like Becciu have caused in the Vatican Bank before we turn to the news:

GERMANY: Court prohibits homeopathic manufacturer from advertising product with false health claims
RUSSIA: The Duma passes law banning ‘LGBT propaganda’ among adults
INTERNATIONAL: Witchcraft beliefs in Europe (and around the world) surprisingly high
UK: Graham Hancock rages war against the whole field of archaeology
INTERNATIONAL: With Twitter's end of enforcing policy against misinformation, EU raises prospect of big fines or ban
INTERNATIONAL: Measles is ‘imminent threat’ globally, WHO and CDC warn

This week's Really Wrong prize goes to the NHS in the UK for supporting quackery in midwifery.

Finally, you can listen to two of the interviews conducted at the convention with Executive Officer of Australian Skeptics In. Tim Mendham and chief organiser of SkeptiCon 2022 Kevin Davis.

Enjoy!
